Raymond was the first child of the late Peter and Mary (Cherek) Gorski born on November 22, 1927 in Milwaukee, WI. At the age of two, he and his family moved to Bevent, WI. His life changed for the better when he began courting Georgiana in the summer of 1948. They wed on September 17, 1949 at Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Wausau, WI.

Raymond worked at Wausau Papers for 37 years, retiring in 1990. He was an active member at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Wausau where he was an usher and volunteered in other capacities. He was involved with Catholic Order of Foresters and he never missed a day of praying the rosary.

Raymond rarely missed an opportunity to watch his grandchildren's sporting events, plays, and recitals. He was an avid Wisconsin Sports fan. He enjoyed attending and watching the Packers, Badgers, and Brewers games with his family. Raymond had a knack for telling jokes, especially Polish jokes. He loved crafting, woodworking, and making toys, and games for his children and grandchildren. He also loved traveling, making sauerkraut, and watching game shows with Georgiana.

The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 am on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at St. Michael Catholic Church, Wausau. Rev. Msgr. Mark Pierce will preside. Entombment will be in the Memorial Chapel Mausoleum, Restlawn Memorial Park, Wausau. Visitation will be on Monday from 4:00 until 8:00 pm at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 1302 Sixth Street, Wausau and again on Tuesday from 9:00 am until the time of services at the church. There will be a rosary service at 7:30 pm Monday evening at the funeral home. Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com
